Steve Spurrier had the most nonsensical defense for picking Alabama to win the SEC
During a wild appearance on the Another Dooley Noted Podcast, former college football coach Steve Spurrier made some very inaccurate claims about his pick to win the SEC. Spurrier predicted Alabama to take the SEC this fall, which is totally fine and understandable. However, his reason was… a bit flawed. However, he said he’s a fan of “Jalen DeBoer” (a combination of quarterback Jalen Milroe and new coach Kalen DeBoer) and claimed that the team plays Texas early this season (there is no Texas game on Bama’s schedule in the regular season). For what it’s worth, Spurrier also said he thinks Florida will win nine games this year, which, y’know, you can understand why since he coached there. You can see Spurrier’s faulty Bama reasoning below. Love this. He refers to Kalen DeBoer as Jalen *twice* then gives some analysis of a game that isn't happening this year. He's still got it. https://t.co/Yae3I8pmXX — Kevin Clark (@bykevinclark) August 21, 2024 More College Football!Brian Kelly continued LSU-Ole Miss feud by trolling Lane Kiffin over his Coca-Cola rantLane Kiffin’s rant about how unhealthy Coca-Cola is was so unhinged (but completely correct)Connor Stalions is coaching high school football now because of course he is
